Detroit, for several decades, was a city where I received many important composing and performance opportunities in the early and middle part of my career. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra even commissioned my second symphony. My cantata DONE MADE MY VOW has been performed there more times than any place else. The chorus for those performances was always the outstanding BRAZEAL DENNARD CHORALE. He loved his city and was a great mentor to me. The final movement of this quintet is dedicated to his memory.

The Quintet for Piano and String Quartet was written for the American String Quartet in the summer of 2000. It is in one movement but has two distinct parts. The first is a slow movement characterized by dotted rhythms. It is a fantasy with some long flowing lines interrupted by short fragments usually in the piano. After a rather agitated section in 6/8 time, this section comes to a quiet close on a G-sharp major chord. The second section of this thirteen-minute work is marked Fast and Energetic. It begins with chords that recur throughout the movement and after two measures a long main theme is introduced which is developed and altered during the rest of the fast portion of the work. One could call this second part a sort of rondo form since this long lyrical theme returns always after contrasts. When it does return, it is treated often by means of imitation, but at the climax returns played in unison by the strings while the piano renders an energetic sixteenth note background. The work ends on an E-flat major chord though the piece is certainly not in any one key, but rather features quick modulations. One might call this non-tonal music which nevertheless always feels like it has a tonal center. --Samuel Adler.
